Preparation

Note from Ricardo

Crostoli are also called frappe, chiacchiere, etc… depending to the different regions of Italy. These are small sweets (dolce) often prepared for special celebrations such as New Year or Carnevale (Mardi Gras). They are traditionally shaped in rectangles or loop-shaped, but you can have fun and give them the shape of your choice!
